text: Bangalore, India | Reverse Engineering &#x2F; x86 arch | Onsite only<p>We at Vayavya Labs provide embedded software solutions across Automotive, EDA (Electronic Design Automation), Semiconductors, and Communications domains. We are looking for freelancers with a passion for reverse engineering, device driver development to be a part of a highly motivated team which works on Obsolescence Management of mission-critical embedded systems.<p>The lifetime of many mission-critical embedded systems is quite long and often requires replacement of the underlying hardware components (processor cards, network hardware, sensor cards etc..). Most often, the exact hardware component in the system would have gotten obsolete and would need to be replaced by similar hardware. Getting the same application software to run on the new hardware requires developing the device drivers for the new hardware as per the design of the older drivers. This often requires reverse-engineering the old driver code and&#x2F;or binary patching.<p>Key Technical Skills:<p><pre><code>   * Strong in C and Data Structures
   * Good understanding of x86 assembly language and x86 system architecture
   * Experience in working with reverse engineering tools such as IDA pro, Ghidra
   * Experience in binary patching
</code></pre>
Key Non Technical traits:<p><pre><code>   * Excellent problem-solving abilities
   * Ability to learn and adapt
   * Not afraid of failures, persistent and loads of patience
   * Self-managed
</code></pre>

The courses are generally 40% lecture, 40% labs&#x2F;coding, and 20% Q&amp;A.<p>Because we&#x27;ve been growing, we need to find more developers&#x2F;trainers to come teach for us. We really need a lot of help in front-end, devops, ML, golang and cloud (among several other areas...).<p>We need to find developers who have a couple things (this can be be challenging): 1) Have the time&#x2F;interest to teach and have taught professionally before 2) Can build their own labs&#x2F;slides for their course 3) Have 5-10+ years of experience and can answer fairly difficult questions from experienced developers 4) Can make a class fun and engaging.<p>Our day rate is $1500.<p>Please email me your resume&#x2F;linkedin&#x2F;github + blurb about your teaching experience if this interests you kyle@DevelopIntelligence.com

text: SEEKING FREELANCERS | [still-unnamed startup in stealth mode] | REMOTE or ONSITE(around HK: Guangzhou,Macau,Shenzhen,Taiwan,etc) | 20-40h per week, freelancers&#x2F;full-timers&#x2F;part-timers<p>Sorry for the vague description but I can tell you more about the product we&#x27;re building when you apply. Hopefully I can attract you in a sufficient way with our tech stack! (see below). [NOTE: this is not a pie-in-the-sky venture, you would be joining a team who has a 1+year-old working product, with prospects of new greenfield products built around the first.]<p>Job positions:<p>- Build engineer: you are a Linux-er who has some past experience building deb or rpm packages, are excited about reproducible builds, and are willing to learn (if you don&#x27;t already know) new things such as snap or flatpak. gitlabCI and&#x2F;or githubActions is a plus. (Might do some DevOps work after we come out of stealth mode as well.)<p>- C#&#x2F;.NET developer: generics, LINQ, VisualStudio, EntityFramework et al are your bread and butter. You value the diversity that comes from learning other languages and tech-stacks but also the stability that a robust platform like .NET provides, which you based your career on. Desirable to be familiar with Xamarin, but not required. F# is a plus.<p>- Rust developer: you dealt with C&#x2F;C++&#x2F;Objective-C in the past but are ready to move on. However, you&#x27;re still not convinced about garbage collected languages, so you have been looking at Rust lately, or willing to learn it. You&#x27;re not a smart-ass though, so you would be excited to expose your Rust code&#x27;s API to be consumed by higher level languages.<p>- FP developer: you value immutability and lack of side effects because you have lived the nightmares of race conditions and heisenbugs in your career. You&#x27;re disgusted with most job positions out there because the tech-stack described in most of them don&#x27;t look safe enough to be serious (sure they can build snapchats with them, but not robust software that would end up being used by NASA or Waymo). Desirable to be familiar with F#.<p>- Desktop&#x2F;mobile developer: you cringe at the idea of &quot;Electron apps&quot;, because you think native frameworks like QT or gtk+ give much power and maintainability (plus, performance aside, javascript is a joke in any other aspect too). But you also understand why garbage-collected languages are safer and more productive than low-level ones, and there are many of these much more decent than JS. (gtk is preferred for this position at the moment; or someone willing to switch)<p>- SmartContracts&#x2F;blockchain developer: you&#x27;ve used&#x2F;developed smart contracts in languages Ivy, MiniScript, or Solidity(EVM), or are willing to learn this technology. Desirable to have familiarity with atomic swaps, HTLCs or zero knowledge proofs. Excited about things like bitcoin, ethereum, mimblewimble&#x2F;grin, DAI, etc<p>Important perk for all positions: all the code&#x2F;scripts you&#x27;ll write will be opensource, at least for the first 4months.<p>Write me at andrew.forsure@gmail.com<p>PS: Abstain from applying if you expect a lead&#x2F;managerial role, because the team is not yet big enough to need extra leadership for now.<p>PS II: I wouldn&#x27;t find it acceptable if you join us to work remotely part-time while keeping your full-time job. Part-time only works with your own side-projects, or other additional part-time job (because rest is important).
